Overview

The Lumitec 101296 is a high-output LED engine room and utility light that throws 1000 lumens of white light across a 180-degree spread. It runs on 10 to 30 VDC and is sealed to an IP67 rating for bilge splash, washdowns, and the damp air that lives in lockers and machinery spaces.

The housing is a compact 5 in wide, 2.5 in high, and 0.63 in deep, so it fits where longer strip lights do not. Light color is 5000K with a CRI of 70+, which helps when you are tracing wire colors, reading labels, or spotting leaks.

It is ignition protected for installation in mechanical spaces and compartments, including gasoline engine areas. Power draw is about 1.3A on a 12V system and 600mA on a 24V system.

Key features

• 1000 integrating-sphere tested lumens with a 180-degree beam to light up wide, hard-to-reach corners
• 10 to 30 VDC input for common 12V and 24V onboard systems
• IP67 sealed enclosure for wet compartments and routine washdowns
• Ignition protected for use in mechanical spaces and gasoline engine compartments
• 5000K white output with CRI 70+ for clearer visibility when servicing equipment
• Compact footprint: 5 in x 2.5 in face and 0.63 in depth
• Works with most PWM LED dimmers for installations that want light level control from the circuit

What’s included

• NevisLT light fixture
• #6 self-tapping mounting screws

Installation and setup

Mount the light to a flat surface using the supplied screws, and plan your wire routing before drilling. The wiring can pass through a wire exit behind the fixture, or it can be run along the mounting surface if that suits your installation.

The unit can get warm during normal use. Avoid placing it in a tight pocket that blocks airflow, since restricted ventilation can trigger a thermal reduction or shutdown until it cools.

Electrical and system integration

Connect to DC power with correct polarity, since the device is polarity sensitive. Protect the circuit with an appropriately sized fuse or breaker, and size wire gauge for the run length and load, especially when multiple lights share one circuit.

For engine rooms and other damp spaces, sealed wire-to-wire connections help prevent corrosion at the splice point.

Compatibility and fit

The face measures 5.00 in by 2.50 in, with mounting hole centers spaced about 4.37 in (lengthwise) and 1.88 in (heightwise). With a 0.63 in depth, it works well under deck plates, inside lazarettes, under gunwales, and on bulkheads where clearance is limited.

Use cases on board

This light is a solid match for owners who need a bright service light for filters, pumps, strainers, and electrical panels in cramped compartments. It also works well in storage lockers and utility spaces where a wide beam helps reduce shadows.

Maintenance and care

Since the housing is sealed, routine care is mostly a wipe-down and a quick check that wiring, splices, and fasteners stay tight after seasonal vibration and heat cycles.

Safety and compliance

This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive harm.
